WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING

Best meal and experience I've had in a long time! Joey was an excellent server - above and beyond to meet my dietary needs. Incredible cocktails, fabulous food. Get the potatoes. Nice live music. Great all around vibe.

Vicki L. / Yelp

The courtyard was a perfect backdrop for great food and nice music tonight. The server and staff were attentive and the food overall was great. I would recommend the Verduras and beet tartare as they were very fresh and tasty! The jamon Serrano was ok but would be greatly improved if the bread was grilled or toasted. It just didn't jive well with the jamon the way it was. Slider was a tasty morsel! The steak was good but needed slightly more seasoning. The sea bass was delicious!! The churros were a perfect end to the evening. I would definitely come back to try other dishes. You really can't go wrong!

Irene I. / Yelp

We tried many delicious tapas and shared plates among 5 people. Definitely a fun vibe and wonderful evening on the patio. Save room for the cinnamon apple churros!

Michele W. / OpenTable

The cuisine and the cocktails were all wonderful. This restaurant has a lovely patio...and it is a Spanish themed menu. Service is the best. Thank you Kelsey! Thank you to the best bartender and cocktail creator Ravin. I've been following him all all over the OC!

My Mom and I had dinner at Ysidora when it first opened several weeks back. I loved the ambience in their outdoor courtyard. The trees and lighting were beautiful and the mixture of furniture was comfortable. I especially appreciated that the tables were socially distanced with plenty of room from each other. We shared a few items from the tapas menu including the corn, peach salad, potatoes and guacamole. I LOVE having a little of everything and each item hit the spot! The service was attentive and friendly and I really liked that the manager made an effort to stop by our table to check in with us. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to go back again soon!
